Cogswell hosted 28 jammers from January 24 to 26 during Global Game Jam 2014. Here’s a recap of what happened over that 48 hour period. We hope you will take a few minutes to check out the games our teams developed.

We were one of 487 jam sites around the world with 23,452 participants making video games.

At Cogswell, we made 7 games/playable prototypes. We made more than the folks at Stanford!!!!

We had a mix of people ranging from Cogswell students to Google engineers.

3 largest single jam sites in the world:

Tel Aviv, Israel = 485

Curitiba, Brazil = 410

Giza, Egypt = 400

Many thanks to the Cogswell faculty and staff and the Global Game Jam 2014 volunteer organizers who made this experience possible!

COST: $10 students (with college email address); $20 Cogswell Alumni and $40 general public

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world’s largest game jam event taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal.
